I’ve had a few months now to think about this since I left Hiriketiya, and after visiting even more Asian countries, especially in Southeast Asia, I can confidently say that Hiriketiya Beach on the south coast of Sri Lanka is my favorite little beach town in Asia. No place in the Philippines, Thailand, or Indonesia…
Taiwan has easily become one of my favorite countries to visit recently, and the funny part is, I hadn’t even planned on going there this year. I just ended up in Taiwan by chance and loved it. For me, Taiwan was a totally new culture, with so much food, traditions, and landscapes I hadn’t seen…
Taiwan was probably my biggest surprise of the year. I hadn’t even planned on traveling there at all, I just sort of ended up going by chance, and I absolutely loved it. That doesn’t happen too often anymore, that I kind of stumble into a country and it turns out to be a new favorite,…
Hey guys, Carae here! Taiwan, over in East Asia, is definitely one of those countries I think you’ll start seeing everywhere online soon. I have a feeling it’s going to blow up as a travel destination, kind of like how Japan suddenly became super popular in recent years. I visited Taiwan at the beginning of…
A country that definitely took me by surprise this year was Taiwan. When I visited, I had zero expectations, mostly because I didn’t really know much about it in the first place. I booked my flight last minute, and I’m so glad I did. Taiwan quickly shot up to the top of my favorite countries…
I have to say, visiting Taiwan in 2025 was definitely not on my bingo card. My original plan was to keep exploring Southeast Asia, but then I spotted a cheap flight from the Philippines to Taiwan and thought, why not? In my head, Taiwan always felt different and cool, not as crowded with tourists as…
Chiayi was actually one of the last places I visited during my Taiwan adventure, and I’m so glad I didn’t skip it. For many travelers (including me), Chiayi is the main gateway to Alishan Forest which is why most people end up spending a night or two here. Alishan is easily one of the most…
Australia has completely ruined me, in the best way, when it comes to coffee. Even the McDonald’s coffee here is better than what you’ll find at most places in the US. And honestly, it’s usually cheaper too. But we’re not here for a Macca’s drive-thru, we want that good goo, and Noosa takes its café…
I know, usually I chat about the fun stuff like food, hikes, cute cafés, beaches, but today we’re looking into something a bit more “adult”: travel insurance for Taiwan. I’ve been traveling for almost 7 years now, either non-stop or on long trips, and for me, having travel insurance has always been a non-negotiable. Especially…
I honestly had no idea I’d end up loving Taiwan as much as I did. It wasn’t even on my radar this year, I just kinda ended up there because I needed a cheap flight out of the Philippines. But hey, here we are… and wow, Taiwan completely impressed me. In my opinion, Taiwan is…
